When VIII Our Eyes BE Opened to This
Great National Calamity
The year 1886 played sad havoc with many
prom nent men Of our country.
Many Of them died without warning, pass
ing away apparently in the full flush OF life.
Others were sick but . comparatively short
time. We turn to our files and are sstonished
to find that most OF them died OF apoplexy,
OF paralysis, Of nervous prostratlon, OF mailg.
nant blood-humor, OF Dright's disease, OF
heart disease, Of kidney disease, OF rheulna-
tism, or Of pneumonia
1t is singular that most Of our prominent
men die OF these disorders. Any journalist
who watches the telegraph reports, will be
astonished at the number Of prominent VIC
TINS Of these disorders,
Many statements have appeared in our paper
with others to the effect that the diseases that
carried off so many prominent men in lSS6.
are really one disease, taking different names
according 10 the location of the fatal effects.
When a valuable horse perishes, 1T becomes
the nine days talk of the sporting world, and
every day, their aggregate loss IS enormous,
and yet their death creates no omment
80 1t is with individuals. The cause OF
death Of prominent men creates comment
especially when 1t can be shown that one un-
suspected disease carries off most of them,
and yet "vast numbers of ordinary men and
women die before their time every year from
the same cause"
1t is said If the blood is kept free from uric
acii, that heart disease, paralysis, nervous
prostration, pneumonia, rheumatism, and
many cases of consumption, would never be
known. This uric acid, 70 are told, 10 the
waste OF the system, and it is the duty OF the
kidneys to remove this waste.
We are told that il the kidneys are main
tanned in perfect health, the uric, kidney, acid
is kept out of the blood, and these sudden and
universal diseases caused by uric acid will, IN
. large measure, disappear.
But how shall this b. done? 1t is folly to
treat effects. II there Is any known way OF
getting at the cause, that way should be known
to the public. We bel eve that Warmers safe
cure, Of winch 80 much has been written, and
80 much talked of by the public general y, Is
now recognized by impartial physicians and
the public IS the one specific for such Diseases.
Becaus, public a,ten ion has been directed
to this great remedy by means of Advertising,
some persons have not believed in the remedy.
We can not see how Mr.. Warner could imme-
dlately benefit the public in any other way,
and his valuable specific should not be con-
demned because some nostrums have come
before the public in the same way, any moro
than that all doctors should be condemned BE-
cause 30 many of them are incompetent.
1t is astonishing what good opinions you
hear on every side of that great remedy, and
public opinion thus based upon an actual ex-
perience has all the weight and Importance Of
absolute truth.
Al this time of the year the uric acid in the
blood invites pneumonia and rheumatism, aud
there is not q man who does not dread these
monsters of disease; but he need have no fear
OF them. we are told, if he rid the blood Of the
uric acid cause.
These words are strong, and may sound like
An advertisement and DO rejected az such by
minimizing people, but We believe they are the
truth, and as such should be spoken by every
truth loving newspaper.
